Resilient Convergence
2025-09-05 19:00 - 21:00 | Dana L. Wiley Gallery, 1001 E. Second St., Dayton, 45402
The gallery is proud to present painter/printmaker, Gretchen Durst Jacobs. This exhibition exhibits 35 pieces of her new works. This exhibition explores the raw, intuitive energy that defines Abstract Expressionism—not as a singular style, but as a radical movement that gave voice to the internal landscapes of the artist. Born in the aftermath of war, and shaped by displacement, uncertainty, and a hunger for new forms of meaning, Abstract Expressionism emerged as a declaration of both autonomy and vulnerability.
